5 Best Verizon Smartphones [April, 2014]

Those looking to buy a new Verizon smartphone in the month of April are going to be faced with a tough decision due to the amount of high quality smartphones that reside on the carrier’s extensive 4G LTE network. We want to help narrow down those choices for you and here, we take a look at what we consider to be the five best Verizon smartphones.

In years past, the first three months of the year were full of big name smartphone launches and releases. Companies that wanted to keep their gravy train rolling pushed out brand new handsets to serve as a bridge between the holiday shopping season and the summer.

This year, it was a little bit quieter than usual. While we certainly saw some new smartphones emerge, we didn’t see the volume that we’ve seen in the past. The drought left smartphone shoppers sifting through a few new choices but mostly smartphone options from last year.

After three months though, we’re starting to see companies kick things into gear. Recently, we’ve seen two of the biggest names of the year emerge from the shadows and both of them will be heading to the United States’ largest 4G LTE network.

Verizon remains a solid option for consumers. It boasts an assortment of data plans, it offers the nation’s largest high speed network and on top of that, it features an extensive smartphone lineup.

Verizon’s smartphone lineup is no longer stale which means that consumers are starting to weigh their options. Problem is, those on the hunt for a new Verizon smartphone in April are going to run into a number of tempting options. Not everyone follows the smartphone market and thus, for many, it will be hard to narrow those options down.

Here, in an effort to help those who might need some help this month, we breakdown the devices we think are the five best Verizon smartphones for the month of April, 2014.

Our list may differ from yours but these are the devices that Gotta Be Mobile editors have selected for recognition this month. We feel like they deliver the best, all-around package at the moment. Something else to keep in mind is that this list will change month-to-month as more devices get released.

iPhone 5s

> 1 / 5

Apple's iPhone 5s is still a top option at Verizon, months after its release. And here's why. The iPhone 5s is one of the best pound-for-pound smartphones in the world. It features fantastic hardware including a solid camera and industrial design. It comes with Apple's powerful iOS 7 software that will continued to get updated for years to come. And it also comes with a robust App Store that features an armada of quality games. The iPhone 5s still starts at $199.99 but consumers can plop down their hard earned cash knowing that they're buying a device that is built to last.
